Tonight's beer: Mother Earth Kismet
Explosive citrus to start: orange and lemon as much as grapefruit; musky melons, pineapples, assorted tropical fruits are thrown in the melange. Flowers and grass dance around the perimeter. There's a brief glimmer of pale bready caramel sweetness that is instantly swallowed and subsumed by the bitter as it abruptly transitions to bone-dry.
Medium-bodied, kinda soft and chewy, decently carbonated. Smooth for an IPA. Maybe a vague glimmer of boozy presence, nothing more. Drying and immensely refreshing.
A delicious and marvelously drinkable IPA from a brewery I wish I lived closer to (the weather there is pretty, and San Diego is a great beer city). Intense and complex, beautifully integrated, more poised and graceful than balanced. Murkier than I'm used to IPAs being, but that feels like a quibble, really; seriously, an excellent beer.
